Editing Kosovo (section)

== Government and administration ==
Kosovo is a parliamentary republic governed under the constitution that entered into force in 2008. Legislative authority is held by the [[Assembly of Kosovo]], while the central state institutions are based in Pristina. Albanian and Serbian are used as the official languages of the republic.

Local government is organized through municipalities. Municipal authorities administer local services and exercise powers assigned by national law. Relations between Kosovo and Serbia remain subject to an international normalization process because Serbia does not recognize Kosovo's independence.
